    Hi Snap-ant and everyone else,

    I'm sorry if I seem ignorant, I don't mean to be.

    I'm on limited time on the internet. I have no job and me and the wife only have limited time on our dongle.

    I'm trying so hard to find a job and it's not easy when your my age (52). I have 3 kids, 8, 11 and 15. they are having the hardest time of all with dad not working and them seeing everything being taken away as time goes on. phones, Sky, etc.

    I try and visit as much as possible as you guys are great with all the bargains you find. The grabbits are great too, but we have to watch our usage as we do it all on a limited contract with a dongle.

    Don't be fooled by me on the quiz. I know what i know and that's why why sometimes I'm really fast. You may have noticed when I'm good I'm brilliant and really fast (modest :o) but when I get it wrong I'm rubbish.

    I'll try and join in more. i'm really sorry. :(

    Can i add that I've had private messages (PMs) asking if I'm someone else? I'm not caz2073 or Old Bear or Zoso, if that helps.

    Sorry. :(

    Ceriain :A

    ps. Love to 3dogs, your messages make me cry.

    Hi Ceriain and welcome! I dont see that you have anything to apologise for

    You've posted 14 times in a month. Thats more than a lot of newbies/lurkers.

    Have you been getting PMs to say you are ignorant, not contributing enough AND being accused of being someone elses alter ego?

    Geez!!!! How many other newbies have to put up with this and then dont come back i wonder? Doesnt say much for how welcoming the thread is does it

    I hope whoever is bothering you feels suitably ashamed

    Afternoon Elite!

    Just got back my best Asd4 womble at £5.81 :j:j:j:j:j

    Well chuffed! I had a nice one for £3.38 I picked up Saturday and went back Sunday to spend it on loads of whoopsies costing £3.40 - 2p to pay lol!

    Managed to pick up 20 various MAM's over the weekend :T:T:T The only ones I wasn't too impressed with were the posh frazzles/ crispy bacon strips and the sliced sausages. I have now got pulled beef,chicken and ham, bbq pork, chunky bacon, sage turkey, herb sliced sausage, ham batons and streaky bacon...all the one's I've tried are lovely!

    OH thought it was a good idea to eat 2 packets of the Chilli beef pieces late Saturday night - no detail is needed except I would advise against it very strongly :eek::eek::eek:

    I think I may have cracked the secret to getting questionable things through the SS with lots of coupons, at the weekend it seems the SS are manned by student types who don't seem to give a flying fig :T:T:T particularly at half past 3 on a Sunday!
    :) Learn from the past, enjoy and appreciate the present and work to make your future the best it can possibly be :)

    And get lots of glitches!

    Couldn't think of anything witty to say so just keeping the space until I can :(

    Well tonights tea. I had a rummage in the freezer and found a large pack of sarnie ham getting a bit old so it got me thinking! A look in the freezer located a pepper that was a bit tired too.

    A plan was hatched!

    In the cupboard was a nice tomato and chilli napolina pasta sauce so that went into the slowy while the ham went in the microwave to soften it enough for chopping. Also in the freezer were some chopped shrooms (like that surprised anyone??) and some chopped courgettes so a handful of each of those got tossed in too along with the sliced pepper. The ham was rouchly chopped and that follwed the veg into the pot. A quick stir and then to cook for a while. Later I'll boil some pasta and stir it all in together.

    Hopefully it will taste ok!!

    Hello!!

    'im indoors is more or less in the same position as you having recently been made redundant :-( I really hope things pick up for you soon

    In the meantime, try and use the Internet at a library to try and find yourself a better deal Internet wise. There must be something better value for you

    Just post as and when you can, it's more than most lurkers do!
